A Little London Lockdown 25.5.20

It’s not a clear run to Putney, you have to get off at certain points and use the road, but it was a beautiful day (26c). Sun, sun, sun.

It felt a bit like the High Line in NY, but somehow lower.

Lots of little gardens along the way.

On the road near Albert Bridge I saw a young couple riding a Vespa

And I thought…

It’s a beautiful sunny bank holiday, you’re young, you own a Vespa and you’ve got your bird on the back.

Does life get sweeter?

This lockdown is a bit like those magnificent men in their flying machines, sometimes you feel up-tiddly-up and then down-tiddly-down.

Jack Daniel’s can help.

Having just returned from a bike ride around Hyde Park on a beautiful spring morning I’m definitely on the up-tiddly-up side of things.

One day my lovely London will return, just been put in the deep freeze. Despite being 20c today

Stat attack 1: Only 24 new reported cases of C-19 in London yesterday, down-tiddly-down from 200,000 daily cases in March.

Stat attack 2: Around 7.5 million people in the UK have been furloughed. If you combine that figure with those who work in the public sector the government is now paying the wages of almost half the working population.

As you can see, I now have a matching mask and hat combo. So important to remain stylish in these trying times.

The firm I work for is closing their offices in Holborn on Sunday. Going in to collect my bit and pieces. Working from home from now on. Still have a job, hurrah!
